The article says "In queueing theory the birth-death process is the most fundamental example of a queueing model, the M/M/C/K/ /FIF0". Why is it that the calling population must be infinite? It seems that a finite calling population would be easy to model with a birth-death process since the parameters can depend on the number of customers in the queue, which is easily related to the number of customers not in the queue when the population is finite.

If this is supposed to represent the size of a population, should we just make lambda 0 be equal to 0 since it would be an absorbing state? Brusegadi (talk) 05:41, 13 August 2008 (UTC)Reply
I have deleted the recent addition of Dec 30 which had all the missing and misformatted equations. It seems to have been copied from http://staff.um.edu.mt/jskl1/simweb/mm1.htm which may violate copyright. Even if not, the copyng stage seemed to have resulted in many errors and would need to be done more carefully. I note the same addition was attempted in both Birth-death process and M/M/1 model.
